Democrats unfair to Secretary Rice

First, congressional Democrats from California and New York gave inaugural tickets to protesters so these protesters could sit close to the president's podium and disrupt his inaugural speech.

Then came the ugly spectacle of the Democrats' behavior towards Dr. Condoleezza Rice. These "righteous" Democrats attacked Dr. Rice for lying to them about the rationale for going to war against Saddam Hussein.

Weapons of mass destruction was only one of many reasons stated in the war resolution. Instead, some of them apparently voted for this resolution without reading it. Now they want to attack Dr. Rice for deceiving them?

Some of these same Democratic senators were in favor of attacking Saddam Hussein back in 1998. The rationale - weapons of mass destruction.

Of course, Bill Clinton was president at the time and he would never lie to the American people.
